Heat resistant Glo-in-Dark paint

[DaleZ]

Hello all,

I have a WS Fireview that sits in the dark portion of the house. I cannot see the air adjustment markings without a flashlight. Does anyone else have this problem and come up with a solution?

The only thing I can think off is glow in the dark paint. I would only need a small amount and be brush on. Not much showing up in searches.

Any suggestions?

Dale, Todd had some pictures of what he did with the Fireview and it looked and worked great for him and others. Basically, he just took white paint and drew straight lines at the numbers. You might be able to find those pictures by doing a search or even send him a PM. Perhaps he will chime in here or someone else who has done it. I've considered it but we really have no problem with the settings as it came from the factory.

Dale, I didn't have much luck with the search so I sent Todd a PM and hopefully he can repost his picture.

My primary air control had no markings and I used regular white enamel to put a few lines on there (closed, half and open). I have the stove pretty hot and the paint has held up. I would try regular paint and see if it works.

I used a white paint marker to paint lines on my air control, it is holding up just fine.
A paint marker will be OK to about 300 °F .

Can you add some lighting to the area?

The glow in the dark paint has to soak up some light to glow. If it is dark there, it ain't ever gonna glow.

I had the same problem and used high temp white on mine. Visibility is much better. A small artist brush and steady hand is all it takes.

Thanks to all for the suggestions. I like what you did Todd and that looks like the trick.

Any place for a small 7 watt night light? That's what I use.

Now that's an idea and yes there is a spot for one. Thanks

You can see mine on the left. I have one at the insert too. It really makes a difference ant night, when I don't want to turn lights on.
